Solana's POVWe are still sharing the same table eating our lunch and everything felt heavy or is it just me because Hunter and Olivia seem fine and the only problem is me and Alton and the way he looks at me?I looked away instead of looking at Alton. I did my best to ignore him but my eyes always betrayed me. I can't help but take a glance at his side and he always caught me looking.When I can no longer take it I gather my courage to excuse myself."Excuse me I will just use the powder room," I said. Hunter nods his head while Olivia doesn't care and continued telling Hunter something related to business.I leave the table and headed towards the hallway heading to the powder room.It took me a few minutes to find it and when I saw it I immediately stepped inside and stared at the mirror.I slapped myself a few times trying to forget how Alton looked at me.I retouched my make-up and put some powder on my face because I am getting sweaty feeling all the tension.When I am satisfied
Solana's POVI looked at him intently then after a while I let out a deep breath."I don't think it is part of your business Alton," I said and walked away but he didn't allow me to leave.Alton grabbed my wrist and made me face him.He looked at me directly in the eyes. I saw irritation on his face."Don't meet Hunter again," he said and upon hearing those words my forehead creased."Who are you to decide for me?" I asked a bit annoyed that he is getting on my way again.I thought we have talked about this. That he will stop meddling with my private life...and he will stop pursuing me just to get what he wants."I don't want to see you with another man," he said and upon hearing those words I can't help but laugh."Stop acting like you are fucking in love with me when all you want is thrill and excitement," I said while looking at him straight in the eyes."We already talk about this Alton. Stop using me for fun, I have too much going on with my life right now, so please if you have
Solana's POVOlivia surely knows when to show up and I have no idea if I should be thankful for that or not."I thought you will make a phone call?" she asked completely confused while looking at Alton then shifted her eyes to me.Alton let out a deep breath and then looked at Olivia."What are you doing here?" he asked and I can sense irritation in his tone."Retouch?" Olivia responded completely confused."How about you? What are you doing here?" she asked."That is none of your business, Olivia," Alton firmly responded then looked at me again. I forcefully removed his hold and took a step away but I halted when Olivia speak."What do you think will happen if I revealed this to the public? The name that you built for half of your life will be tainted Solana and your Mom whom you wanted to please so bad will loathe you or worse disown you," Olivia uttered and I know those would be possible once she created a story out of this issue.I let out a deep breath and then faced her. I looked
Solana's POVUpon stepping inside my car I let out a deep breath before starting my engine.When I gather all my courage I started manoeuvring my car and drive away.I headed back to the studio since I still have a shoot and I have to practice my script for my upcoming movie.When I reached the studio I saw Kris busy talking to the photographer probably regarding the photos that we took earlier.When Kris noticed me she kissed me on the cheeks and then pulled me towards the monitor where my photos are flashed."This one looks a bit off, right? Your smile looks forced," she commented so I simply nod my head unable to think of anything or to criticize my picture because my mind is flying somewhere else."This one looks good though right Solana? Your eyes look sultry here," she said and I nod my head once again.Kris looked at me intently then stood up straight and rested her hand on the side of her waist.She stared at my face intently and that made me a bit uncomfortable."Why?" I aske
Solana's POVWhen I stepped out of my room I bumped into Alton in the hallway.I don't know what I should do so I ignored him and acted like I didn't see him at all.I headed towards the kitchen and I felt him following me but I keep on ignoring him.When I stepped inside the kitchen Timothy and my Mom is already sitting on the table so I greeted them by kissing their cheeks.I sat beside Mom while Alton sat across from me."So how's your date with Hunter, Solana?" Timothy asked the moment I sat at the table."It's fine Dad. We plan to meet again," I responded then simply smiled.Timothy nods his head and he looks pleased by my answer."That's good," he said."Hunter is a good man and he knows a lot about business I am sure he can help you. I think Alton is busy in his newly opened business so he can no longer teach you Solana," he said so I simply nod my head and take a glance on Alton's side who is already looking at me but he immediately looked away when our eyes met.I wanted to s
Solana's POVAfter a few moments, Mom joined us for dinner and just like Timothy she asked how the lunch date with Hunter went."Hunter seems like a good man based on Timothy's story, I like him for you Solana," she said so I simply smiled and nod my head."Timothy and I have been talking about your marriage with him," she said and my forehead creased upon hearing that.I almost spit the food inside my mouth.I immediately grab the tissue then wiped the side of my lips and faced them."Are you two serious?" I asked looking at them completely confused."Yes, why Solana?" my mother asked.I looked at her in disbelief.I mastered controlling my emotions whenever I am talking to her. I trained myself in saying yes to everything she will say but this time it is different.I can't take this."Mom I am not marrying Hunter," I firmly uttered."That is ridiculous. I just met him yesterday and now you are asking me to marry him?" I asked. I can no longer hide my annoyance."Solana you are of ag
Alton's POVI stayed quiet during the whole argument and when Solana leave the table I decided to leave as well.I thought I could step out of the kitchen but my father spoke."Can help us convince your sister to marry Hunter?" he asked. I let out a deep breath and then faced him."Don't involve me in your mess Dad. Besides Solana is old enough to decide for herself so why are forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like?" I asked looking at him with annoyance."Hunter is a good man beside if Solana marries Hunter then she can learn so much in business and she can have a stable life," he reasoned. I looked at him in disbelief."I can teach Solana everything about business if that's all you care about and mind you Dad Solana has a career and she can support herself without your help," I said. My father looked at me in disbelief as if I betrayed him or something."Solana will marry Hunter, Alton. You can leave if you don't want to help," Solana's mother butted in and I felt anger surge
Solana's POVWhen I got home I can still feel the same tension we had this morning.The moment I saw Timothy and my mother sitting on the couch in the living room I let out a deep breath and ignored them.I headed towards my room but before I could fully leave my mother spoke."Where are your manners Solana?" she asked which made me stopped from walking and faced them."You won't even greet me and your Dad?" she asked with raised eyebrows.I let out a deep breath once again before walking towards them.I kissed Mom on the cheeks and even Timothy.I thought they will let me go after that but I was wrong because my mother spoke again."You won't say sorry to us for how you acted this morning?" she said while looking at me directly in the eyes."I won't apologize for defending myself Mom," I firmly uttered without breaking off the gaze.My mother looked at me in disbelief as if she isn't expecting me to say those words.She stood up and faced me."How dare you disrespect me again?!" she
